Question – Jesus, 168

 ~ Regarding Why ~

 

Introduction  ~  This series is about questions involving Jesus.  Some were asked by individuals involved with Jesus Christ while He walked on earth.  Others are questions that Jesus Christ asked others.  We will look at questions on over 160 topics (some may split into two or more posts).  Even so, it is far from an exhaustive list. 

 

Scripture  ~  “Simon Peter said to Him, ‘Lord, where are You going?’

 

Jesus answered him, ‘Where I am going you cannot follow Me now, but you shall follow Me afterward.’

 

“Peter said to Him, ‘Lord, why can I not follow You now?  I will lay down my life for Your sake.’

 

“Jesus answered him, ‘Will you lay down your life for My sake?  Most assuredly, I say to you, the rooster shall not crow till you have denied Me three times’” (John 13:36-38).   

 

Comment  ~  While Peter’s three denials are prominent in many of our thoughts about Peter we should never lose sight that he was one of the most influential of all the early Christians.
